really upset

[My2BabyGirls]

I don't know what to do.  My husband has to travel for work.  He is going to be leaving for Georgia in a few weeks and he will be there until I am 37 weeks pregnant.  Now I find out today that he has to go to Maine next week.  I need to have some tests done for my pregnancy one of which requires me to be at the doctor for 3 hours.  I can't bring the girls to something like that and he is acting like it is no big deal.  He has been at work until 11 or midnight all week.  I feel like a single mom.  I am so upset right now.  My needs just don't matter anymore.  I don't know what to do...

I'm so sorry you are going through this.  Have you met anyone who can help you with girls while he is away?   I know it has to be so hard on you.  Things will get better.

I am sorry to hear that. I know how it is to not have anyone to help with your child and being forced to do things alone because of the hubby's work schedule. I know it will suck, but you will have to do what you gotta do. I know you are not the mom who is or has had  to bring her kiddos with her during something like this. Just pack a bag with toys and snacks to keep them entertained. Good luck chica

It sucks.  I bring them with everywhere.  I haven't had a sitter other than when I was working really ever.  They even went with when I had my PAP done.  It is just this is the ONLY time I have asked him for anything and I think he signed up for this trip because he will get to see his friends and family.  I am mainly upset because he doesn't care.  he is annoyed that I am upset that the one time I have asked him for anything he said no.

Oh Jaci dear I am so so sorry. I will watch the girls for you whenever I can. I can watch them for you when you go to the doc. I really know how you feel and I know how much it sucks. I wish I could give you some consoling but I really to some degree know how you feel but I can't imagine having 2 kids and being PG and dealing with all this. Could you go home to visit for a while, then you would have people around you to help you, give you some down time. I don't know what to tell you other then I am so sorry!! I know how crappy it feels when he feels like it's no big deal, because I really don't think they do see it from our point of view, they just don't get it. Have you tried crying when he's around?:) Always works like a charm for me!
